This refers to a character in a work of fiction (be it a novel, a movie, a television show, or a comic strip) who plays only a minor role, and does not take up a large amount of space or bandwidth.

Usually a bit character will help round out the adventures of one or more major characters, or help them illustrate their personalities.
